Garden Sketching

Last year, I found the Upside•Down Patio Garden container at the store Tuesday Morning. I thought it would be perfect for the condo we were living in at the time. But, as silly condo rules go.... I found out I couldn't put this on the sunny front porch.

This spring we moved into a house with a sunny, private back yard. Once the move was over and we were halfway settled in, I ran to Lowes for plants and potting soil. The bottom of the container is filled with sand. This keeps the structure quite sound.

What a joy it is to be tending a garden again. It was planted a little
too late in the season for the Beef Steak toms and peppers but the Grape
toms are giving us a good crop. The herbs on top are very happy. So
many plants in one square foot of garden space! No weeding, just joy :)
